Dawn followed Joel into his dorm room. She took a look around. The walls were decorated with posters of various rock bands. An electric guitar leaned against the wall and pictures of Joel and his family were on his night table.
"Nice place,"said Dawn as she sat on the bed.
"Thanks,"said Joel. "Look, I know that we've only known each other for a week but I feel like we're connected in here."
He pointed to his heart.
"I feel it too,"said Dawn. "It feels like we're soulmates."
Joel smiled and said,"My fraternity is holding a party tonight."
He looked at the clock.
"It starts in half an hour. Do you want to be my date,"he asked.
"I'd love to,"said Dawn.
She jumped off the bed and gave him a hug.
"Good,"said Joel.
-!-Half an hour later-!-
"Why is the party being held in the basement,"asked Dawn.
"It's the only place big enough to hold all the people who were invited,"said Joel.
Dawn looked at the knives displayed in prominent positions on the blood-red walls. She giggled nervously.
"Well, it seems like a nice place,"she said.
"Yeah,"he said.
He looked a few feet away at a man who was talking to a couple.
"That's Harry. He's kinda like the leader of the fraternity. I should introduce you to him,"he said a bit nervously.
"Okay,"said Dawn.
They walked over to Harry.
Harry stopped talking to the couple and turned towards them.
"Joel, hi. I'm glad you could make it. Hello, you must be Joel's girlfriend Dawn,"said Harry.
"Yes, that's me,"said Dawn.
"I'm going to go get us some punch,"said Joel.
He slipped away.
Harry put an arm around Dawn.
Dawn shrugged it off.
Harry smiled.
"Do you like UC Sunnydale,"he asked.
"Yes,"said Dawn.
She took a few steps away from Harry.
Harry noticed and smiled wider.
Joel came back with the punch.
"Here's the punch I'm sorry I took so long. Everybody was crowding around the punch bowl and I couldn't get though,"said Joel, babbling slightly.
Harry and Dawn took the cups offered to them. Dawn sniffed hers.
"A toast,"said Harry. "To the party of a lifetime."
"To the party of alifetime,"said Joel and Dawn, a bit less ethusiasticly.
They all clinked glasses.
Harry and Joel took a sip of theirs.
Dawn gulped hers down.
"What the-,"she started as her eyes rolled back into her head and she slumped to the ground unconsious.
